Former Rep. Trey Gowdy on Sunday said he has "no idea" if he would ever join President Donald Trump's legal team, despite Trump saying the South Carolina Republican would be free to do so next year.

Gowdy was first floated earlier this month as a new outside lawyer to help the president fight impeachment - an announcement that Trump quickly walked back, citing "lobbying rules and regulations."

In an appearance on CBS on Sunday, Gowdy cast doubt on whether he would ever represent the president.
